external wastegate

[jakirave]

i tried searching but not very well as nothing came up, was just wandering if its posible to put an external waste gate on the golf 1.8t's and if so what they actually do? lol as somebody at a garage i was at other day was talking about this and a screamer pipe which got me curious
cheers

i enquired about this a while ago and the cost was gonna be way to much. dont know the technicalities but thought it would be cool

no no no no no lots of money and uber cool.. but the first bit always stops me.

The turbo's have a internal Wastegate/actuator. Would be no real benefit of fitting one to a standard turbo

there would be on  t2871rs

As i understand it, it dumps the unwanted presher from the turbo out into the atmospher rather than puting it into the exhaust. have seen a few Porshes with this on and get quite large flames kicking out of them

a lot of jap guys have them..
